@Holocryptic She's covered by the Canadian small arms waiver of 1807.

Holocryptic

hahaha

voretaq7

@MikeyB THAT'S why my new server has a hole in it!

TylerShads

@voretaq7 no thats...for other...reasons...

voretaq7

@TylerShads <scadalized>

TylerShads

wat?

MikeyB

18:06

@TylerShads I love this new server we got. I really love it… unnghhh

voretaq7

@MikeyB Lift with your legs, son.

serverfault.com/questions/343162/… <- Am I misinterpreting what the OP wants and/or what taskset can do?

MikeyB

@voretaq7 You would not believe the shit we get sometimes. We've received a blade chassis with forklift holes punched right through the cardboard and denting the actual chassis.

voretaq7

it's 1PM and I've only had 1/2 cup of coffee

@MikeyB I once had UPS push a half-million dollar IBM pSeries box into a gap between the loading dock and their truck.

(needless to say nobody signed for that one)

((also our IBM FE was not amused))

MikeyB

Then there was the service call we got from a customer. "We can only slot 13 blades [13/14] into the chassis. Can we get warranty on it?"
We go onsite, turns out the reason they can only fit 13 blades into it is that it's been sheared. Upon further investigation it turns out it had been dropped by their moving company when they sent it to a different location.

@voretaq7 As in, it fell (a long ways) into the gap? Or just got the wheels stuck?

TylerShads

@MikeyB Does the warranty cover liquid damage?

voretaq7

18:10

@MikeyB no, I don't know exactly how the hell this one happened I really don't

there was a good 4 feet between the truck and the dock

and he pushed it right off the back of the truck, into the gap, and down onto the pavement

TylerShads

@voretaq7 please tell me they replaced it at least o.x

Holocryptic

@voretaq7 FE?

front-end?

voretaq7

@TylerShads UPS insurance covered it.

it was one of those suckers

MikeyB

@voretaq7 How the fuck do you fail that hard? 4 feet? What the hell did they do, try to get a running start? Tilt it over to make a bridge then upright it?

@AdrianK Looks more like a tanning bed

voretaq7

@MikeyB I don't know, I was inside at the time. I heard a crash and came outside to see the CTO and my boss looking at the busted machine

@AdrianK I had the same reaction.

MikeyB

@voretaq7 DERP DERP DERP we thought we were close enough

voretaq7

18:14

that one is apparently a 570, ours was a 670, but they look pretty much the same at a distance

AdrianK

@voretaq7 Can I get that one in High-Res. =D

MikeyB

@AdrianK Fail - Jayne would never say "Excuse me"

TylerShads

@voretaq7 he mustve put all his body weight into it, looks like itd be at least a couple hundred lbs

AdrianK

@MikeyB True. But I couldn't pull off a Jayne if I wanted to. My cunning hat is blue & yellow for the Buffalo Sabres.

MDMarra

McAfee's ePO is an abortion of a management platform if I've ever seen one.

TylerShads

18:16

@MDMarra McAfee is an abortion of satan in general

voretaq7

www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/hardware/780/index.html is apparently the new "IBM Power Systems" generation replacement

@TylerShads they had it on a wheeled dolly apparently - IDK. That was my first, last and only experience with UPS Freight

they shipped the replacement through a company that had some experience unloading rack-sized machines from trucks without damaging them :P

TylerShads

@voretaq7 See, I've had the opposite, I've had nothing but good from UPS, but my 2 recent servers were through fed-ex n the guy brought the box in sideways, then put it down upside down. I didn't let him leave until I got to open the box and see the thing didnt move

voretaq7

@TylerShads UPS I've had no problems with. UPS FREIGHT is a different kettle of corn - I've heard mixed things.

FedEx is awful a lot of the time. Like worse than DHL awful

TylerShads

@voretaq7 They delivered my rack with no problems, then again, it was just bars of steel in boxes

@voretaq7 I didn't even think DHL was still in business

voretaq7

USPS has never been a problem for me, but I've never shipped servers USPS...

TylerShads

18:21

@voretaq7 You should try it, it'll cause a lot of lulz

AdrianK

@TylerShads Aren't they owned by Deutsche Post?

voretaq7

@TylerShads ayup. All of Apple's mailed-to-your-house-send-us-back-the-original-busted-part RMA is done through DHL these days

@TylerShads If I had a server under 70lbs...

seriously though I don't get people hating on the USPS.

AdrianK

@voretaq7 Canadian Postal, otoh.

TylerShads

I think it's mostly because of the costs soaring, but can you blame them? E-mail is knocking them out of business so therefore higher costs.

Zypher

@TylerShads they where bought by either fedex or ups i forget which

voretaq7

18:25

@TylerShads $0.50 to send a letter from NY to Hawaii. Try that via FedEx or UPS with their slowest class of service and tell me what it costs :)

AdrianK

@Zypher Doubt that, unless they bought a controlling chunk of Deutsche Post too.

Holocryptic

@voretaq7 and that's why the USPS is broke...

voretaq7

@AdrianK Canada Post is a shitfest from what they tell me.

TylerShads

@Zypher I thought UPS cause I was sure Dell used them for everything

voretaq7

@Holocryptic The USPS is NOT broke.

TylerShads

18:27

@voretaq7 International is where I heard all the complaints. I don't think I've mailed something ever that didn't have the postage already paid. My gf, however, has a friend in the UK and it was about $20 to send a 2lb package

voretaq7

The current fiscal crisis is being created by congress mandating that they pre-fund all of their pension and healthcare for the next decade

AdrianK

@voretaq7 My friends up in BC were howling with laughter when CP started talking about dropping next day postal service. Most of them hadn't gotten a letter in less the 3 days in years.

voretaq7

USPS is 3-4 days for most first class mail. That's not bad.
I have had USPS Express Mail take like 3 days, but you march your ass back to the post office and hand them your receipt and tracking number and they refund you

I've had UPS and FedEx bust delivery deadlines and it took me weeks to get a refund

Zypher

@AdrianK ahh they just pulled out of the US

voretaq7

@Zypher DHL? Really? When?

AdrianK

18:30

@Zypher Interesting. Hadn't realized that. In fact I thought I'd seen one of their delivery trucks just last week outside my flat.

voretaq7

I did an Apple RMA earlier this year and it was DHL both ways

Zypher

multichannelmerchant.com/opsandfulfillment/advisor/…

hmm 08

i give up

voretaq7

naw I've definitely seen them since '08 - maybe they left and came back?

Zypher

that is a possibility i've definatly heard they where bought in the last year, but eh, it might have been Deutsche Post doing the same thing Deutsche telecom did with T-Mobile

TylerShads

@voretaq7 "However, DHL has a minor partnership with the USPS, which allows DHL to deliver small packages to the recipient through the USPS network."

maybe that was it?

voretaq7

18:32

@TylerShads UPS does that too - "UPS Mail Innovations"

it's a crock: They do the cheap part (freight backbone across the country, lowest of the low priority with all their other stuff) and ask the USPS to do the expensive to-the-door part.

TylerShads

SDOIFOSDIFJSD I've had that "everyday im shufflin" song stuck in my head all day from someone playing it this morning,

MDMarra

@voretaq7 That's one way to get funding to upgrade

Peter Grace

amusingly, I bet the fiber still worked fine.

AdrianK

@PeterGrace Do tell. For edification's sake.

voretaq7

@PeterGrace IDK, that's a lot of heat damage. Might have wrecked the glass in the process.

Peter Grace

Hmm.

Well, if it was hot enough to melt plastic I guess it was in the range to melt glass as well, so, I could be talking out of my butt

fiber is pretty resilient though, except for shock stress (fracturing) and macrobending (bending fiber attenuates the light)

TylerShads

@PeterGrace Can it handle being shouted at though?

@ChrisS Jeez, when we brand cattle it only takes a few seconds.

TylerShads

Speaking of IE, I'm goin through the HTML5 documentation and seeing all the things IE isn't compatible with is just sickening for that alone.

Chris S

Most of the popular ones are a long way off... Same with CSS3 (which is part of HTML5 IIRC, too complicated for me to remember it all)

Opera and Chrome seem to be making the biggest efforts, but I'm pretty disappointed in all of their progress. I suppose I didn't pay anything for the browser so I shouldn't complain.

It's been a while since I donated to the Mozilla Foundation... Been sending to the FreeBSD Foundation lately.

TylerShads

Firefox is a bit pathetic w what they don't support, but those docs are as of FF4 so i can't say for certain. CSS3 is amazing as well but some support is better than literally nothing

it'll execute all the JS/CSS stuff but stuff like test 6 will usually take less time to finish

@WesleyDavid I wish my laptop screen was big enough to see what msg you replied to

WesleyDavid

@TylerShads Click the back arrow. It'll scroll up for you.

Holocryptic

@WesleyDavid You're funny

I was looking at my CT scans earlier. The thing is freaking huge! Not to mention the kidney stone!

WesleyDavid

@Holocryptic So what caused it, again?

Holocryptic

@WesleyDavid don't know. they'll have to analyze the fragments after they bust it up

I'm starting to think we need to add something about when it's appropriate to ask here versus when you should call your freakin' vendor

@Holocryptic it's made of kittens.

@voretaq7 But I have zero intention of maintaining expensive support contracts when I can get advice for free on the webs.

Now if you'll just kindly tell me how I join the Windows 7 Home boxes to my domain, I'll be on my way.

@jscott How's the snow there in Purgatory?

jscott

@AdrianK Funny you mention that, we've not had any accumulation year-to-date. Go, Go, Global Warming!

WesleyDavid

@jscott J-B Weld. Works every time.

jscott

I rode my 919 on Monday, might take it to work tomorrow also.

AdrianK

@jscott Nice. Rode the Strom in today, but that's nothing special in Seattle. You guys have more days of snow than we have days of sun here.

And if it's raining, it's not snowing.

@jscott Certainly, first we'll have @Holocryptic's kidney stone removed and placed in your bladder. Then you piss it out. Once you're done with that you'll find your Win7 Home boxes all joined up to your domain and happy. (or maybe it's just a painkiller-induced hallucination. Either way, right?)

jscott

@AdrianK I'll ride cold or wet, but not both.

@voretaq7 Fun for everyone!

Scott Pack

I'd be surprised if @Holocryptic had the stones to go through with something like that.

Holocryptic

Oh, I've got the stones...

voretaq7

@Holocryptic stoners? Wha?

Holocryptic

@voretaq7 You thought I only had one? I've got 5

AdrianK

Holocryptic

Yeah. We're going to be doing the ultrasonic thing though, because the're too big to pass
